Lyrics of Song Cockamamie Business

Bust my back on the levy - broke my strings on the bbc
Found my chops on eel pie island - paid my dues at the marquee
Slagged off by the n.m.e. - lost my stash and my virginity
In this cockamamie business

Got my face on ed sullivan - broke my heart on the soul train
Introduced to bad company - lost cells down at brain drain
And before i could mend - lost the missus, missed the girlfriend
In this cockamamie business

Now we like to air condition - though the air has no ozone ring
Still they´re chopping down the forest for mcdonalds and the burger king
Eating cows with such persistance - doesn´t offer much resistance
To this cockamamie business

There are too many things - stressing out the nervous system
Girls you used to know - fellas that may have kissed´em
Some got rabies - some got fleas - some got incurable diseases
From this cockamamie business

Everybody´s after as many points as they can get
As long as it´s not them that has to pay
No one really minds the debt
5-star actors, tax inspectors, film producers and directors
With their cockamamie business

Well you do what you can - can´t do much more than that
(no you can´t do what he just said)
Some days you´re pretty sharp - on other days you feel half dead
(while you make your daily bread)
Didn´t want to be a star - wanted just to play guitar
In this cockamamie business
